EU plans to transfer 140 billion euros to Ukraine: the source will be Russian assets.

According to ТСН: The European Union is increasingly considering the possibility of using frozen Russian assets as one of the main sources of financing for Ukraine, as other options are gradually being exhausted.

Currently, the EU is intensifying work on a mechanism that will allow the use of these Russian assets for financial support to Ukraine. This acceleration is linked to the recent publication of details of a peace plan supported by the USA, which includes alternative proposals for the use of these funds. The European Commission intends to present a legislative proposal soon that suggests lending 140 billion euros to Ukraine in 2026 and 2027.

According to informed sources, the EU document will be published in the coming days.

“I see no scenario in which European taxpayers should pay the entire bill themselves. That is unacceptable. It is equally clear that any decision must be made in accordance with the rules of competent jurisdictions and with respect for European and international law,” said the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen.

The publication also notes that Europe is under significant pressure to use these assets, as the USA recently expressed the idea of investing these funds jointly with Russia as part of the peace plan.

It should be noted that the EU will soon present a legislative proposal that will allow the use of frozen Russian assets to provide Ukraine with a loan of 140 billion euros.

The European Commission emphasizes that using frozen Russian assets is the most effective way to cover the costs of aid to Ukraine. The proposed loan of 140 billion euros does not mean the confiscation of Russian funds and will only be repaid if Moscow first pays war reparations to Kyiv.

These measures indicate an intensification of European policy towards supporting Ukraine amid a difficult financial situation. The use of frozen Russian assets could become not only a financial solution but also a political signal reflecting the EU's determination to support Ukraine in the context of ongoing conflicts.
